Posted on Tue, 26 Apr 2016

Question: I have been developing what seems to be nerve problems feet (heels) left knee and now moving up to my thigh and my left hand and arm. It's tingling and numb. I don't feel anything when I touch or scratch the areas. It seems to be moving up rapidly.

I had arhoscopic piriformis release surgery and trochanteric hip bursectomy on my left side in November and was very inflammed. Ever since then, my knee was numb but getting better and now I'm developing what I mentioned above.

Also, my legs and feel very week from hip to toe.
